Mercy Sparx: Year One

A supernatural teen with a sharp tongue and a government-sanctioned license to send wayward angels back to heaven, Mercy Sparx debuted in this 2016 series from Devil’s Due Publishing. Written and drawn by Josh Blaylock, the book carved out a scrappy, action-comedy niche in the indie comics landscape of the 2010s. Its premise—a cynical, punk-styled angel hunter navigating messy celestial bureaucracy—gave the series a distinct voice and a small but devoted following.
